Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug, 16 191() Application filed November 4, 1909. Serial No. 526,282.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY T. KINGSBURY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Keene, in the county of Cheshire, State of ew Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toy WVheeled Traps, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

My invention relates to an improvement in toys, and particularly to the construction of a toy wheeled trap.

he invention consists in the details as hereinafter described and referred to in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings; Figure 1 is a side view of a toy constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a top plan View; and Fig. 3 is a plan view of the blank of which the major part of the toy is made.

In the drawings; A represents the blank formed of a single piece of metal, of which the body portion is formed. It has the central plain portion B, which is bent to form the back and sides of the trap. It has the depending ears or with openings 6 for the axle supporting the wheels C, the ears 0, d, which pass through and are clenched upon the plate D, which is bent up to form the seat and dashboard, and serves to rigidly hold in position the free ends of the body portion, when they are bent to position, thus making a rigid structure. The blank A, also has the projections e which are bent up to form the steps, the openings 7 for the ends of the spring thills, and the slots 9, for guiding the thills.

It will be seen that the body portion of the toy is made up of only two blanks, which can be stamped out in quantities by dies at a minimum cost; and that when put together with their interengaging ears and slots, a rigid structure is secured.

Having thus particularly described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A toy trap, the rear and sides of which are composed of a single blank, bent to proper form, and a second blank, engaging and rigidly holding the free ends of said first blank, said second blank being bent to form the seat and dashboard of the trap.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

HARRY T. KINGSBURY.
